Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.

Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.

In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

So is Trump claiming that in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems?

Pressing X to doubt here

With how powerful our military and air force is honestly it's more believable than not.

Given how insanely powerful the US Armed Forces can be, objectively speaking, that's honestly not entirely unbelievable.

The ranting of a senile man with unknown amount of partial control over the military and government .

It is terrifying, especially after he said Tehran should evacuate. He completely freaked out a city the size of New York.

He can't find his own ass, imagine if he can locate Teheran on a map.

Americans, if you follow Trump into Iran you'll officially confirm that you do, indeed, deserve fascism.

“He wasn’t in control at all”

It sounds like he's talking about American technology used by Israel, not about America acting directly.
